The Act Like You Know crew have released their “Fed Up With The Bullshit” full-length video online for your viewing pleasure.

Start your Wednesday off right! The Act Like You Know crew have uploaded their full “Fed Up With The Bullshit” full-length online for your viewing pleasure. As you should know by now, the ALYK guys always produce and never disappoint. This video is 38 minutes of street gold with some great riding, excellent spots and some awesome film work. If you pass this one up, you’re crazy.

““Fed Up with The Bullshit – Act Like You Know Crew’s 4th full-length video. Three solid years of dedication from the usual cast, plus a few new soldiers we’ve handed the torch down to. No sponsors, no travel budgets, no ‘practicing’ – just straight riding from the bottomless pits of East Coast and Midwest cities.” – alykcru.com

“DIG hosted an exclusive online premiere of ALYK’s ‘Fed Up With The Bullshit’ DVD just shy of a month ago. After the 48 hour viewing period a limited run of 100 hard copies were made available on the ALYK online store. The copies sold out quick, so thankfully for those who missed out we’ve got it back online now. Be on the lookout for more exclusive content from the crew to pop up on the site every Wednesday for the next several weeks. Also don’t forget to snag some of the fresh gear the crew just dropped.” – DIG

Tobias Wicke On Colony BMX

March 14, 2018

Here’s some sponsor news for you! Colony have added the front brake legend, Tobias Wicke, to their team! Tobias has been fairly low key lately, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t been throwing down some ridiculous lip tricks over in Germany. Hopefully this means we’ll be getting some fresh footage from Tobias soon! Here’s a few words from Colony about the news below…

“We’re very stoked to announce that the legendary Tobias Wicke has joined the Colony family, We have always been a huge fan of his riding and the man himself, so now to see him riding a Colony is something very special.” – Colony BMX

You can view Tobias’ profile with a short interview and some photos over on the Colony Website!

Mic’d Up with Dan Paley at Simple Session 2018

March 13, 2018

Dan Paley was on the loose with a camera and a Mic…

Just when you thought all of the Simple Session footage had come and gone, you were WRONG! Ride BMX was sitting on this video they put together from some time that they let Dan Paley loose on the course with a camera and a mic. As expected, Dan gave everyone shit and lead to plenty of laughs.

“Shout out to putting out a video from an event like two months late. To be honest, I’ve had this about %80 finished for a long time, but debated on putting it out. After showing it to a few people, getting some laughs, and thinking about all the pain and suffering I put both Dan and Gary through to make this happen, I figured I pretty much had to get this out.

Basically, I had planned on doing a mic’d up with Paley during practice. Buuut, my flight got delayed and I missed the first day. The second day Dan didn’t show up. So yeah, why not through a mic on Dan during finals, hand the camera over to my friend Gary Young, and then see what happens?

For the Augie fans out there, Paley and Lacey love giving pretty much anyone shit. If they hated Augie, they wouldn’t even fuck with him at all.” – Ride BMX

Chase DeHart Off Etnies

March 13, 2018

It looks like Chase DeHart is no longer riding for Etnies…

My new favorite shoe I think ?? Thank you @vansbmx66 @vansjerry @cultcrew !!!
A post shared by Chase DeHart (@dehart856) on Mar 13, 2018 at 11:06am PDT

Here’s a bit of sponsorship news for the day. Chase DeHart is no longer riding for Etnies. He made the announcement on Instagram (Photo above) with a photo of him trying on some new Vans. No word on when the change happened or why, but it must be recent since this was the first time anything about the change came up. It doesn’t look like Chase is officially riding for Vans, but they are clearly helping him out since he appears to have plenty of options to choose from. In other news, Rich Hirsch commented that he’s rocking the same shoes, so we have a feeling we won’t be seeing any new Lotek’s any time soon.

The Substance BMX crew coming through with a video they put together from a late session at the Shred skatepark over in Scotland.
